First, thank you for replies to last post, i havent gotten back
sooner, i apologize..but they have helped me tremendously.

Next question and i will try hard to describe what i am trying to
accomplish..

I have a form i have created in Access. In here we have all our
contact information on each client, physician, pharmaceutical company
etc. After someone from our company speaks with them, they update this
information in the "notes" section, with an area for initials and
date.

I would like to create a F/U (Follow up) section in here to for our
people to type in the date they would like to follow up with this
person.

Maybe I am going way beyond my abilities but ... is there a way to
have an email (or even some other notification reminder) sent on the
date that this follow up date becomes due?
Stumped again....THANKS again.

Yes, you can do that. You can use MAPI to send email from Access or any
other programming language.

I usually call it a BF (bring forward) for the record when you have to take
an action on a record on a specific date.

You will want to have a timer or process that runs on a daily basis in order
to check if any of the records are ready for processing.

Hi, 'me'

I'm interested in something similar to this but wouldn't have the slightest
idea where to begin to use MAPI.

Access Help shows absolutely nothing for the concept MAPI.

I haven't yet checked Google.

Is this something done directly from Access? directly from Outlook? via 3rd
party software? I'll start researching as well, of course.
